Lead in Water Testing Across the Tri State Region
Lead in drinking water is closely associated with the plumbing a property contains, and the New York metropolitan region holds a substantial stock of housing in which lead bearing components are present.
Olympian Water Testing carries out professional lead in water testing for expectant parents, families and households across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Regional Housing and What It Contains
Prewar apartment stock, row houses, postwar detached housing and recently built property all contain lead bearing components, and the specific composition varies from one property to the next.
Components fitted under today's standards that can carry lead include backflow preventers and pressure reducing valves, well pump and booster pump wetted components, hose bibbs and exterior spigots, ball and gate valves on domestic hot and cold isolation, faucet cartridge housings and stems, angle stops and shutoff valves beneath sinks and behind appliances, water heater nipples and relief valves. Fixtures within the lead free definition still return measurable lead on analysis, so assessment applies across the housing stock.
Coverage and Why Proximity Matters
Olympian Water Testing works from five departure locations across New York City, serving the five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland and Putnam, northern and central New Jersey and Connecticut.
Analytical holding times begin at collection and a requested stagnation period applies on the day arranged, both of which make proximity to the property operationally significant.
How the Sampling Event Is Conducted
Our sampling technicians perform the site visit at the taps the household uses for drinking, cooking and bathing.
Collection follows an ordered draw sequence, with pre-sampling preparation instructions provided in advance where the parameter calls for them and outlet screens left in place for the property concerned.
Understanding Our Reporting
Our reporting sets out each sampling point, the analytical method used, the reporting limit and the measured concentration.
Olympian Water Testing has served the region since 1991 with NELAP accredited laboratory analysis, and enquiries are received at any hour of any day.
